Description First deviation of 2008!

I felt Maria has been neglected, so I conjured up a little portrait pic- for the simple reason that I seem a LOT better at portraits than full-body pics. I don't know why, must be something about the scale... *mutter mutter*

As always, please full-view; the thumbnail doesn't do it much justice.

I like the colors and her expression! Very nice! Reminds me of Evangelion or something. Never watched it though.

Ah, more Maria spotlight! (And hi by the way - back from the dead I am, after five months. ) But yes, this is a striking Maria portrait, and it's fitting how she's staring right back out of the paper at the viewer - direct as always, lol. I especially like how you drew Maria's facial features, particularly her lips. I've been playing Digital Devil Saga lately and all the characters sport these lovely expressive lips, just like how you drew Maria's! (And I must add, it's great hearing Crispin Freeman's voice coming past lips like those... kukukukuku *Well that explains my long absence* ) I also like how you made her blue hair have a glowy effect, so she looks very ethereal. :3 Looks like Fayt's gonna be given a run for his money. *Snicker* Nice work hon, keep the SO3 fanart coming!

Ahh, where've YOU been? Thank you so much, dear... I do what I can. Ohhh, I LOVE DDS, but it's so freaking hard, don't you think? DX some of the bosses in that game.... ugh... *shudders* But the character designs are gorgeous, I love the style... and yes, the moment I heard Heat speaking, I was like, 'A-HA!!! ALBEL!' I'd recognise that gruff but sexy voice anywhere. X3
Speaking of the wicked one, I MUST draw him soon... and Fayt. ^^ I feel they've been neglected... oops!
Anyway, great to hear from you again!

Frozen is stasis sleep! Er... maybe not. XDDD;;
Oh my God, tell me about it. O___O Yes, DDS was one of the more interesting RPGs I've played, but the amount of times it made me throw my controller... XDDD;;;; (or kick it ) Ahem. Heh heh, Heat was indeed quite hot. (No pun intended. Oh wait, maybe it was. ) But boy, that man knew nothing about women. I liked Gale as well coz I have a thing for green eyes.

Poor Albel and Fayt, I've been neglecting them too. ;__; I was supposed to make a new wallpaper aaaaaages ago but the line art's still on my comp, stupid lazy me. Feel free to kick my ass, it might actually make me move.

Maria of your artwork may be a bit ugly but it's beautiful, similar to 's "Conbadges ZakRhino" [link] and 's "Duran Mugshot" [link]

KAEDE-DANNA!

She's beautiful! I love the whole composition. The tonal changes within the hair is gorgeous, it makes it appear as if its glowing. The eyes are soo purrdy too.

Your work is as always amazing!

Thank you my gaki, I always look forward to what you have to say about my pics. Your feedback is so important to me! I'm really glad you like what I did with the tone, especially the hair. I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out. ^^

She's so pretty! I love her eyes! (Don't I always?) They're the prettiest icy-blue, and those little shines and highlights really bring them to life. Her hair flows so smoothly too. Lovely job!

Thank you so much, my dear, your comments are always so kind. I'm really glad you like the pic~ Think I'm still improving? Or is it non-moving, lol!

I see improvement in every picture you've uploaded so far! It's tough to notice your own evolution at times, but it's there. I'm seeing lots more balance and much smoother coloring from you these days, so I encourage you to continue!

The way you draw eyes is extremely striking to me. That's what I always notice the most, no matter who you're actually drawing. It's a bit unsettling, but not in any kind of a bad way, the eyes are just rather piercing. It adds quite a bit of intensity.

... and they always manage to do that creepy following thing, but that makes it all the better

Hahahaha, so I did it again with the creepy following eyes? Score. No, really, I love drawing eyes. I always start with them, and colour them last- I like to make them look as glassy and bright as possible, but I could still improve. By a long shot.

Thanks for commenting.

This is bloody brilliant. Not many people can make good pictures using only one colour but you've done it so damn well. x
